From: Alexey Marchuk <alexey...@mellanox.com>

mlx5 common library checks if several symbols/definitions
are presented in system header files. If some are not
presented, they will be enabled by mlx5_glue library.
The problem appears with clang and '-Werror' - code
generated by meson is not compiled due to unused variable:

Code:

        #include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h>
        int main(void) {
            /* If it's not defined as a macro, try to use as a symbol */
            #ifndef mlx5dv_create_flow_action_packet_reformat
                mlx5dv_create_flow_action_packet_reformat;
            #endif
            return 0;
        }
Compiler stdout:

Compiler stderr:
 
/hpc/local/work/alexeymar/repo/spdk/dpdk/build-tmp/meson-private/tmp5obnak86/testfile.c:6:17:
 error: expression result unused [-Werror,-Wunused-value]
                mlx5dv_create_flow_action_packet_reformat;
                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As result, almost all symbols are enabled in mlx5_glue while
they exist is system headers. As result, we get multiple
symbols redefenitions when we compile mlx5_common.
As a solution for this problem we can suppress
-Wunused-vaurable using pragma

DPDK 23.11 note:
Starting with commit bellow, all cflags are passed to the has_header_symbol().
(33d6694) build: use C11 standard
To make sure that the symbol is properly detected, the pedantic flags needs to
be removed.
